 r: great tool for creating icons!

i tried a commercial solution called axialis iconshop and that had a crappy UI... IcoFX is the best icon editor i have found!

portable and free! can't get any better! [2007-08-24 19:29]

 Local: I agree with all of the above but in addition I have to say it's also FUN.

It's so simple and easy to use, it's like a tiny windows paint
I've been using it every day and I don't even use icons


Absolutely brilliant [2007-09-04 11:11]

 Kermode: It doesn't respect windows settings for fonts and hardcodes a tiny unreadable font size. [2008-01-10 06:44]

 theboydanny: Fun program, lots of options and tools. It can both extract and create icon resources, it supports alpha-transparency, Vista 64-bit icons and you can export to a different image format, like gif or png. This, together with the live preview makes it a nice editor for general purpose pixel-art, and not just ico-files. Image-size is limited to 256x256, though.
Yep, this one is going into the toolbox. [2008-02-15 13:00]

 marcy: For me the links don't work unless you remove the ".xhost" part. So the link to the download is http://icofx.ro/files/icofxpe.zip [2008-05-19 09:45]

 avoidz: Can this produce multiple icon sizes from a single image like Axialis IconWorkshop? Because for me, that's a real time-saving feature. [2008-11-20 15:54]

 Tom: This program has a bug where I can't choose certain colors like 255-153-0, so unfortunately I can't use it. It also takes up 17MB of memory on my laptop, which is too much for an icon editor IMHO. [2009-07-04 11:02]

 Dirk: a very nice editor and have enought function for a portable iconeditor. I LOVE IT ..... [2010-03-08 14:06]

 Icones Computador: http://www.beedownloads.com.br/2010-07-08/icones-computador-download-505835.html versao IcoFX 1.6.4 [2010-07-08 04:51]

 JimmySquare: This app is excellent! I have tried "Axialis IconWorkshop" but "IcoFX" works even better for me! [2010-07-13 11:39]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
